WOW!!!!!! Gorgeous. What are the stats on this stone? Size, color, table, crown angle, pavilion angle, depth? HCA?

Thank you! :)

It is 1.56ct, G, VS2. Table: 57%, crown: 35.0, pavilion: 40.8, and depth is 61.2%. HCA was I believe 1.5 excellent for light return, fire, scintillation, but very good on spread. I find it to be more on the fiery side, which I love and was what I was looking for! (I had read that higher crown angle results in more fire)

It’s really gorgeous!! Good job finding such an awesome stone! May I ask where you bought it?

It does look wonderfully fiery - it's absolutely stunning! (I prefer them on the fiery side as well!)

ETA: I'm also curious where you got it, if you don't mind sharing.....

Of course :) I got it from Brilliant Earth, I know they have a horrible reputation right now, but I honestly did not have any issues with them so I may have just gotten lucky!

@Lynniiee , I love your ring and that yellow gold! Can I know what's the width of your shank? It definitely doesn't look super thin and dainty which is all the rage now, and I am loving the look!

@Lynniiee , thanks for sharing the lovely pics and the cad. Your ring is gorgeous! Do you find the Euro shank helps with minimizing spinning and is it comfortable to wear? Also did you go with 18k gold? The gold looks quite rich and luxe, which is lovely.

@Alexiszoe Thank you so much! I definitely notice a difference with the Euroshank and highly reccomend it, I had my wedding band made the same way and love that it doesn't spin and keeps them both perfectly aligned. It's very comfortable and not noticeable until I point it out. AA9C09C6-E1E3-414F-ACB8-B65D6A8759B2.jpeg 3E5502C4-29D1-4B03-9D9D-F368FA1E415F.jpeg


I chose 14k yellow gold for the slightly higher durability, with a platinum head!

I have another band I like to wear that isn't a matching euro shank, it sits thinner than my e ring so the euro shank is still useful at keeping the center stone from spinning and they're still very comfortable together :)

It's less bling, but makes the center stone stand out more. I really like this one,

I've been kicking around the lab vs mined for a while. Decided to bite the bullet for a daily wear pendant.
New Ritani diamond pendant .70 SI1, H. Special ordered it in rose gold. Unfortunately the chain was sent at 15.5 vs 18 inches. Sending it back for correction :shock:. I am not a swan. A quick hello and goodbye to the necklace. The diamond is lively, although my picture does not seem able to catch the twinkle. Very happy (well, once the chain issue is fixed and returned). I used an extender for the neck shot.

@sd_flp Looks great! Are you thinking ring or pendant?

It’s actually going to be for my engagement ring! Sorry, I should have specified; it just came in the mail and I am excited right now. :):kiss2:

I forgot to mention the rest of the specs, but I’ll include attachments here:

I understand my stone size is a little more conservative compared to other PSers but it is perfect for me!:kiss2:

@sd_flp That will be a lovely ER! Are you thinking solitaire, halo, or 3 stone? For some reason, I've been really obsessed with 3 stones lately!

I think just a plain solitaire! I think after playing around with moissanites, I realize I like simple settings. I most likely will do a standard Tiffany inspired ring as I have been gravitating towards that look. I might consider doing a 5 stone wedding ring as I’ve been eyeing those for a while but not sure yet. ❤️

@OoohShiny Bought this from JA during their 25% off promo. It’s a lot prettier in real life and looks bigger than 2ctw. Thanks for letting me share.

Ooh, nice! Cool that they seem to have crisp faceting / contrast patterns :))

Thank you for the pictures!
